People on both sides of the measure discussed the "death with dignity" bill Tuesday at the Maine State House.

Two terminally ill women shared different views on whether the law should let them choose to end their own lives.

“Too many people aren't given the tools to know how to find the resources that they need, where to go, what's available,” Stephanie Packer, who opposes the bill, said.

"If Maine passes this law, I want to be the first person in line to get the drug,” Even Thompson, who supports the bill, said. “I don't want to die young, but this is the hand that I’ve been dealt. The only control that I can have over this situation is how the very ending goes."

Lawmakers are scheduled to hold a public hearing on the bill on Wednesday.
